Oops...

This is better...

Or is it?

That was the back, this is the front...

...as is this...

...and this is the back...

Struggling for content? Me?

Up at 7...

Had intended to get this up to date but got distracted with other, now forgotten and, therefore, most probably, inconsequential stuff...

Breakfast...

...and Anne's cat is declared "finished"...

Answers on a postcard please as to what these numbers mean...

Car insurance renewed...

Working on the pictures submitted by family members for the 2023 family calendar...

Never ceases to amaze me the lack of attention to detail as regards random stuff in the background that people apply to their photography...

Speaking of which, my mum during my visit this afternoon while Anne was off watching Hearts claw a 3-2 win over Motherwell with a last minute penalty, having been reduced to 10 men (really ought to have been 9 to be honest) and then going 2-0 up...

...as regards random stuff in the background...

This was the final choice (I really ought to have cropped it as regards random stuff in the background!) re sending to pretend cousin Robert...

...in relation to pics he sent me...

The house in Kilmarnock where many childhood adventures took place..

...with, from left to right, Evelyn, now 65, Anne 67, Robert 58, Liz 63, Alison 61 next Sunday...

Missing from the pic is eldest sister Laura, who would have been 70 next month but who succumbed to cancer at just 41 back in September 1994...

And here, Robert's two kids, Hannah (21) and Adam (23), father of Cole, who visited my mum last Sunday...

Having seen the cat, mum wanted to see Anne's other recent work - so, I showed her the tiger...

...and the boat...

She was impressed...

Also today, my listening was a track each from my 2022 LPs of the Day...

Here they are so far...

January...

February...

March...

April...

May...

June...

July...

August...

September...

October...

I got as far as 10 weeks into the year, which involved almost 7 hours of top music...

...and, on telly, more "Karen Pirie" (I think - or that might have been last night) and the SAS thing in the desert...

Lunch was unpictured porridge and the tasty tea was an equally unpictured rerun of the midweek hot chicken but with healthy chips replacing the potatoes and carrots...

It's all good...

Weekend over...

Highlight of the Day : New music...
